# Configure the host whose IP address is 202.38.1.10 as the log host. Permit ARP and IP modules to
output information with severity level higher than informational to the log host.

2) Configure the log host:
The operations here are performed on SunOS 4.0. The operations on other manufacturers' Unix
operation systems are similar.
Step 1: Execute the following commands as the super user (root user).
# mkdir /var/log/Switch
# touch /var/log/Switch/information
Step 2: Edit the file "/etc/syslog.conf" as the super user (root user) to add the following selector/action
pairs.
# Switch configuration messages
local4.info /var/log/Switch/information
When you edit the file "/etc/syslog.conf", note that:
A note must start in a new line, starting with a "#" sign.
In each pair, a tab should be used as a separator instead of a space.
No space is allowed at the end of a file name.
The device name (facility) and received log information severity level specified in the file
"/etc/syslog.conf" must be the same as those corresponding parameters configured in the
commands info-center loghost and info-center source. Otherwise, log information may not be
output to the log host normally.
Step 3: After the log file "information" is created and the file "/etc/syslog.conf" is modified, execute the
following command to send a HUP signal to the system daemon "syslogd", so that it can reread its
configuration file "/etc/syslog.conf".
# ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
# kill -HUP 147
After all the above operations, the device can make records in the corresponding log file.
